Sheds were damaged near Cassoday in Butler County, but Schminke said that was caused by strong winds and not a tornado. Hail as large as baseballs was reported near Scott City in western Kansas and as large as pingpong balls in southeast Kansas.

The thunderstorms that formed packed substantial rain: Chanute set a 24-hour rainfall record, logging 2.96 inches, while Iola recorded 2.34 inches.

In Butler County, 2.85 inches fell in Latham and rainfall amounts of nearly 2 inches were widespread across the county. Eastern Sedgwick County saw similar rainfall amounts, but it tapered dramatically to the west.

While Jabara Airport reported .57 of an inch, Eisenhower National Airport in southwest Wichita logged just .25 - and the western edge of the county barely registered rain at all.

More storms are possible off and on into the weekend, forecasters say.
